Question: What is this DROID2 Update?

This random DROID2 screenshot popped into our inbox last night from a source without a name, and we have no idea what it could be. The screenshot looks fairly legit leading us to believe this popped up erroneously on this person’s device, but we can’t confirm that without a way to contact them. You can see a mention of version 2.3.20 which is the current Blur for the D2, but that “Delta Package” note is sure something new and interesting. And version 34.0.113 at the top doesn’t match up at all to the current naming convention and instead looks a lot closer to the new Blur naming convention you can see in our BIONIC hands-on video. Seriously, I have no idea what this could be, but would love for the sender to let us know if they were able to install it. Of course, it could also be fake.

Off topic- wifey busted the glass on her htc incredible last night. Was happy to see the glass with digitizer on Amazon for twenty bucks. The Droid lives on…

I have a Droid Incredible and I received a update last night as well. I didn’t think much about it but it completely deleted all my contacts, I cannot use any of apps I have on my sd card (they are still there, I checked), and most of my apps that were saved to my phone will not open. I get the Sorry! message that says the program stopped unexpectedly and I have to force close. So is this a Verizon update since I have a HTC. I don’t have a screenshot of the update message but it was not optional. I will get the software info up.

So I guess hitting the release notes link was too much for the guy who posted the screenshot. That would at least give some clues to the nature of this update.

Looks like the VZ navigator is just an addition to the bloatware thrown into the update as well

This optional update adds more blurr to your Blur software. If you download, you will lose all anti blur software (including roms) and can never download them again. Press continue and enjoy 😉

looks like a couple new widgets so far nothing else that i’ve been able to see. unfortunatley i didn’t check the release notes before demanding that my coworker check if he had any updates. Theres a new social status widget (latest FB twitter post) and an updated photo frame widget (allows to slideshow on homescreen). feel free to post anything else you guys are seeing in this update.

Wait…So it IS legit?? And VZW didn’t hit anyone with “enhancement” update?? And the plot thickens….

Hey, you are the one responsible! Send us more pics, info, etc. We’ve got to find out what this is.

I keep hitting the System Update on my Droid2 and I’m getting nothing, this might be coming out in waves. But VZW using makes some sort of announcement bout an update, even if it’s just a small bug fix.

Let’s all say it: We want Gingerbread! We want Gingerbread! We want Gingerbread!

no you don’t. lot’s of developers haven’t updated their apps to compatibility with gingerbread. Froyo is probably best to stick with until gingerbread is more in it’s prime. which with everyone awaiting the OS revamp that we’ve been told is “ice cream sandwich” this may never happen

I don’t have the first idea. Hopefully the sender decided to update and we will find out soon?

D2’s version is 2.3.20. All of the devices have something different. And we’re talking about the NEW Blur that is on the BIONIC and that was leaked in those DROIDX Gingerbread shots. The Atrix still has the old style of Blur.
